[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 62614, member: 1233"] Hey, wait a minute. Matthew is MINE!!! Anyway, decide how you want to handle husband. Are you going to let him set edicts with- no info? Are you going to ignore him? Or are you slowly going to try to bring him into the situation? You may need marriage counselling to help with this. The first time my difficult child took adhd medications he had to go to a soccer game right after. medications were MY decision. I researched them, saw the docs, etc... husband was skeptical of the need for medications, but was realizing that we would all be miserable if something didn't change. And that if he didn't support the decisions I made HE would be twice as miserable. If he wanted to challenge a decision, he needed some supporting documentation to back him up (not just a feeling, or an I've decided, I wanted to know HOW he got to that point). Anyway, I gave difficult child the medications, then sent him to the game with husband and Jess. I stayed home, hard, but really wanted husband to see the difference. difficult child had a great game, husband came home raving about how well difficult child had done, and the coach told him that whatever we had done meda a huge difference and to NOT stop doing it. My husband never gave me medication static after thant. Sometimes the guys just won't get on board. It is sad, but it happens. My husband had NO positive reaction to the Explosive Child. I then left Love and Logic books around. They really "clicked" with him. Made a big difference in how he treated the kids. I have several friends who had better luck with Love and Logic than they did with Explosive Child, at least as far as their hubbys. Good Luck and Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
